Forum: The Gender Pay Gap and How to Close It ~ Wed, March 6

The League of Women Voters invite you to their next Leelanau County Forum, , The Gender Pay Gap and How to Close It on Wednesday March 6 at noon.

In 2024, it is hard to believe the Gender Pay Gap still exists. But it does and Michigan ranks 37th among states. In Michigan, women are making 22 cents less per dollar earned by men. When applied to median annual earnings, this means women earn $11,675 less per year.

Strong pay equity laws help close the pay gap, but other factors affect the wage difference, including occupational segregation, discrimination and workers’ parental status. Further, women are not fully recognized in the United States Constitution.
